Happy new year !

I have never really understood the hype about new year. The need to "do" something cooler than sitting at home. The "need" to party all night and have a blast. Whats the big deal ? Its after all just another day. On a larger perspective nothing really changes except a number ! But I dont blame anyone ; people just need an excuse to party and what better excuse than "new year"!

But what I find really funny is the habit of calling everyone u know , 12 in the night and wishing them . Even I do the same ! Its something which I have become so used to that I guess I do it more out of instinct than desire. But I feel like a "phony" somehow when i'm doing this. While I'm calling people I know for a fact that my conscience is laughing and thinkin "wat crap ! happy new yr indeed". One way I justify this to myself is that its an excuse to "keep in touch" with people. But have we fallen so out of touch and so busy that we need an excuse to stay in touch with other.The answer , very sadly i guess is a big "YES". So I shall continue calling people on new yrs day and suggest you do the same ;-)

Every new yr till now I have spent only at home , watching either those "soooper hit theraipadam" they put in sun tv. Or watchin the best movies , songs , actors et al or the indian of the yr, sportsman of the yr and the billion such programs which come on tv. And then I usually curl up with some nice novel till late in the night and sms people or call them. During those days , I used to feel like such an idiot becauseI never spent a cool new yr instead always stayed at home.

And this new yrs eve am not home. I will spend it differently. I will not be watching anything on tv. Instead I will be out with friends here. I will be freaking out. I'll be spending a cool new yr ! And do i feel happy? NO!
I realise that what I want is a nice boring usual new yr at good ol' home !!

Anyway , let me sign off with my very own new yr summary of my boring life ;-)
